Earthquakes in Arkansas?

And the hits just keep on coming. Just when I was starting to worry about tornadoes, I find out that earthquakes do in fact occur in Arkansas. According to the Arkansas Center for Earthquake Education (http://quake.ualr.edu/), the Northeast section of Arkansas is located in the New Madrid seismic zone. According to the map below, Benton County (the county we live in) does not contain an earthquake epicenter. All things being equal, I'd take a few epicenters in exchange for the ability to purchase alcohol.
